Trump tells a sir story about a "strong guy" with "tears in his eyes." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump repeats his ridiculous Sir story about a general telling him "sir, we have no ammunition." There was a perceived shortage of certain bombs, but there was never "no ammunition." My fact check: https://t.co/50KpfRf3Ks — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says previous admins put "historic Christian communities in vastly more danger than they were before we started. They are some of the biggest victims of these power vacuums and restless foreign adventures." He doesn't talk about Christians affected by his Syria decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says US wars in the Middle East "produced only chaos and bloodshed," and all the US "blood and treasure" have only made the region "less safe, less stable, and less secure." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely says "most" captured ISIS fighters "came from Europe." The military says about 8,000 of about 10,000 detainees are Iraqi and Syrian nationals. Trump himself has previously put the European number at 800. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump uses his account of devastating ceremonies at Dover Air Force Base to argue that it's time to bring soldiers home. He wrongly says again that the Syria mission was initially supposed to last "30 days." — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump is now talking again about Dover Air Force Base ceremonies for deceased soldiers, and how the plane flies in, this "big, incredible machine...so powerful, so big," and parents seem to him like they're doing "absolutely fine" but then "scream and cry" when the coffin comes. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump complains of "blue on green" killings where local soldiers the US is training turn around and kill American soldiers. He says he knows each and every one of these incidents. (It's usually known as "green on blue.") — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump is now talking about letters he signs to the families of soldiers who are killed. "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Arkansas. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones from Alabama. Dear Mr. and Mrs...somebody from some great state. I'm sorry to inform you your son has been killed in combat." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: Turkey's campaign is "very tough," and "we get along with the Kurds," but don't forget "they're also fighting for their land." — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump is telling his multi-sir story about his trip to Iraq and how generals there told him ISIS could be defeated rapidly if only soldiers were actually allowed to fight, and he let them fight, and "we won very quickly." He's stopped mentioning Raisin Caine in particular. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump claims he's building the wall "faster than anyone ever anticipated it could be built." Zero new miles had been erected as of September 30 where barriers hadn't been existed before; there were about 70 miles of replacement barriers. — PolitiTweet.org

Interlude: THE WASHINGTON MYSTICS!!! Ok sorry — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he won't make the immigration mistakes he says European countries made, so will not allow "a violent ideology to take root in our country, on our shores." He doesn't name the ideology, but then touts his (Muslim-focused) travel ban. — PolitiTweet.org

After slamming Fox in the morning, Trump praises Fox and Friends hosts by name, then Jesse Watters, then Tucker Carlson, then "the legendary Sean Hannity," then Laura Ingraham, then Maria Bartiromo, and "the great Lou Dobbs," and "Gregg," and "we can't forget Judge Jeanine." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's pitch for re-election: "It's like a tree, you plant it, you plant it, it has to go, but it needs a little -- that's why we need the four additional years. It has to grab on and catch. So they can't destroy it." — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump is shouting about how the media supposedly said he couldn't get 270 electoral votes. He says he got a headache "almost as bad as listening to Mike's damn commercials about those pillows. Maybe I need one of those pillows to cure my headache. Does it cure headaches?" — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
Trump claims that if he'd actually wanted to win the popular vote, he would have gone to "four states, maximum," instead of all the states he did go to. ? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump boasts about his victory in the election three years ago. For more than the 25th time as president, he says the Electoral College score was 306 to "223." Before faithless electors, it was 306 to 232. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on his campaign manager: "Nobody knows the world of computers better than this guy: Brad Parscale." — PolitiTweet.org
Daniel Dale @ddale8
He's actually been making fewer objectively false claims than usual, so far. It's more incendiary/ranty/odd than provably inaccurate. https://t.co/m08rMUt7Bd — PolitiTweet.org
Todd S @ToddS1978
@ddale8 Is he going to set a record for false claims in a speech?
